Proof of the Sun King

The signing of the Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance in Empire (Kingdom) Bu (Britania) represents the complete establishment of a national defensive alliance between the Knight Kingdom headed by Ryan and the Empire headed by Karl Franz. It wasn't the counties, duchies, or Rick Lands of Emperor Carl before.

Now, both the external environment and the internal environment give both parties the best chance to sign a contract, because both Ryan and Carl rely on their own efforts to temporarily complete the unification of the situation. This opportunity, taking advantage of the presence of most important people from both sides, the two sides signed a contract in the Curona Palace.

The "Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance of Tebu" mainly has the following contents.

1. The Contracting Parties undertake to jointly endeavour to take all necessary measures to unite against, including but not limited to, northern barbarians, beastmen, greenskins, vampires, skaven, drow invasions, sabotage and any hostile action, Once any one of the contracting states is attacked by the above forces, the other contracting party will do its best to provide military and other assistance.

Second, re-define and measure the border between the Empire and Brittany, and agree to withdraw their troops from the border and not send more than a thousand border troops to their respective border fortresses.

Third, the two sides open more trade fairs, and agree that customs clearance tariffs must be negotiated together, and no privately increase tariffs or impose additional fees, so as to promote the further development of bilateral economic and trade, and regard Marienburg as a free trade city, specializing in bulk commodity trade. .

Fourth, Brittany will pay a fee of 100,000 gold crowns, which will be paid in ten years. In view of the good relationship between His Majesty Ryan and the empire and the many times of assistance to the empire, the empire will give a special preferential treatment of 1% annual interest. In order to introduce advanced industrial technology and industrial talents from the empire, the empire will do its best to help Brittany establish its own industrial system, starting from Mousillon and slowly extending to the entire kingdom.

5. The empire can hire Brittanian knights to carry out chivalry wars at a price not higher than the market price through a covenant. Similarly, Britania can also hire imperial mercenaries through a covenant. For example, the empire must hire Holy Grail Knight, the price needs to be negotiated separately, and the same is true for the Empire's War Machine.

6. The validity period of the treaty is twenty years. If neither side raises any objection within the near-term expiry, it will be automatically extended for ten years, and so on.

The leaders of the two countries signed the contracts respectively. The religious representatives of the two sides, Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, and Kasmir IX, the great chanter of the Church of Justice, represented the justice of their respective gods, declaring that the relationship between the two countries had entered a new era.

At the signing ceremony, there was thunderous applause, Ryan and Carl shook hands enthusiastically, and both sides showed standard smiles. Now, the two countries are officially united.

The champagne was opened, the king and the emperor clinked glasses, and Karl Franz immediately played his vulgar sense of humor: "Lane, guess what our scene looks like to Greenskin's eyes?"

"Two hammers and shrimp?" Ryan sneered, "one is not green enough, and one is not waaagh enough?"

"Hahahaha~" Carl burst out laughing: "Oh, I like this joke, hahahaha~"

Ryan smiled a little embarrassedly. He thought that the emperor's laugh was really confusing, but it was a good thing to be able to reach an agreement. Compared with the southern countries, the Empire and Bretons inherently have a sense of mutual recognition.

The southern kingdom is different. The origin of the southern kingdom is not the tribe when the empire was rising. Whether it is Tyrell or Estalia, their origin is actually named Titus (now Skaven Demon). After the fall of Titus, the surviving humans were divided into two factions, and under the guidance of the goddess of war Mirdia, they went to settle in Estalia and Tyrell, The people there never felt obligated to fight Chaos or the Greenskin Frenzy, instead they indulged in the ideals of democracy, civil liberties and justice, perpetual city-states, perpetually chaotic politics, and perpetual irrelevance. An attitude of high self-esteem, this is the southern kingdom.

To put it simply, there is a big gap between the three views of the two sides. For example, if the empire asks the southern countries to send troops to defend against the greenskin and chaos, the answer of this group of southerners is probably these few sentences: Why? Why? Am I going to reduce my quality of life because of your responsibilities and obligations? What does it have to do with me? You go ahead with your weight, I just want to keep the years peaceful.

Therefore, neither Ryan nor Karl Franz have too many expectations for the people of the southern kingdom. It is good that they can hire the mercenaries of Tyrell, the dog of war, and the Church of Mirmidia in Estalia. .

On the other side, Elector Boris held a wine glass and said a little indignantly: "The benefits made those two people stand up, saying that it was industrial support, 10,000 gold marks a year, but the people of the empire know that the industry of the empire Basically, it's completely focused on Rickland, Brunswick, and Nuer. Our Countess and Ryan are in that relationship again. Hey, this time Nuer is going to make a lot of money, we can only get some soup to drink. "

"It's better than nothing." Elector Marius was still wrapped in bandages. He fell off the ring yesterday and broke his arm and rib. Even if Ryan has the best medicines for high essence and wood essence, he needs at least two Yue Cai recovered: "Hey, I was thinking, if the greenskins attacked from the Blackfire Pass and saw a large group of Breton knights, what would they look like?"

"They will be very excited." Elector Wolfram-Hertwig looked helpless: "There are opponents, these green moss can never be cleaned up, I swear."

"But they can be contained." Duke Hubald of Carcassonne frowned.

"perhaps you're right."

The signing ceremony in the morning was over, and at noon there was a larger banquet and appointment and removal of personnel. Ryan had to reorganize the kingdom's court. He wanted to replace Richard's people with his own.

Lane soon reorganized his court in the afternoon.

The new king's court consisted of the following:

Religious representative and theocratic advisor: Morgiana, the witch of the lake god.

MI7 chief, spy chief: Sanctuary sorceress Aurora Trovik and legendary sorceress Teresa Trovik.

Chief female courtier, wizard advisor: Veronica, the bright fire witch of the Sanctuary Department.

Marshal of the Brittany Border Guard: Roland Marshall.

Regent of the Kingdom: Knight of the Holy Grail, Lord Lawn-Leo Cornwall.

Chancellor of the Royal Palace: Katzenberg.

Minister of Finance of the Palace: Surya (temporary), Steve (deputy), Geffen (deputy).

Commander-in-Chief of the King's Custody: Baron Armand, Knight of the Holy Grail.

Lord Chancellor: Baron Eduardo Candreva.

Lord Admiral of the Kingdom: The Holy Grail Knight Baron Federmond.

Royal Housekeepers: Orika (director), Sylvia (deputy).

As for Brittany's ambassador to the Empire, Ryan trusted the Earl of Florence-Beaumont previously appointed by Richard, and did not plan to replace him.

After the reorganization of the entire palace, there were a series of banquets and various trivial matters, including whether the new king would inherit or give up a series of policies towards the old king, including a series of contracts for diplomacy with wood elves, diplomacy with dwarves and diplomacy with high elves, including The pardon for political prisoners in the kingdom also includes the mobilization of the national army and the promises to the dukes.

Because from the perspective of the entire knight kingdom's system, Ryan has seriously damaged the foundation of the entire Brittany since the founding of the country to some extent.

Normally, the Brittanian knight king is "authorized by the gods", always under the supervision of the witch of the lake god, and is restrained by the dukes. If a king cannot meet the wishes of the fairies in the lake, he will ensure the interests of the dukes downward. , his throne will not be long.

But for Ryan, he was the first king in the history of Brittany to break this rule. Up, the fairy of the lake clearly gave up the legality of his divine right to the monarchy, while down, Ryan and Mo Jaina has formed a tight alliance, and when the king's power cannot be extended, he can use the power of the Church of the Fairies in the Lake to enforce his will.

That is to say, Ryan's authority of the king at this time has been overly inflated and huge, and there are signs of being out of control.

After he ascended the throne, there have been many rumors in the palace, doubting whether the new king will reverse the history, try to cancel the independence of the duchies, and directly command their armies over the dukes.

Hearing this rumor, Morgiana did not respond yet. Surya immediately found Ryan. The wise and politically sensitive queen asked him to hold another duke assembly. Surya made it clear that Ryan, as a king, should protect you interests of the kingdom.

Ryan also realized the problem. He immediately convened a duke meeting and announced that a new war of chivalry was about to be held. The harvest of the Bafeng Mountain expedition would be related to the elite level and number of troops sent by the dukes. At the same time, he promised to protect the independence of the duchy, Inherit the glorious history and fine traditions of Brittany.

Although the great nobles still have doubts in their hearts, they still say that they will send their own elite troops from each principality to participate in the Bafeng Mountain expedition. This is not only a gesture of goodwill to the new king, but also coveted for the endless wealth of Bafeng Mountain.

Many affairs have made Ryan dizzy. Since the beginning of this year, both Richard and Lawn have effectively stopped dealing with major internal affairs, waiting for Ryan's ruling, plus various meetings and banquets, this busy is three days. For three nights, Ryan worked at his desk for about 20 hours a day before finally finishing most of the squeezed official documents.

This caused a lot of resentment in Ryan's backyard, especially a certain goddess who had negotiated with Ryan that he would be consummated by two people when he ascended the throne. Seeing that Ryan was so busy that he had to trot all the way to pray every day, the fairy in the lake was already ready. A set of high elf wedding dresses and a complete ceremony, but seeing that Ryan is so busy, he is about to prepare for the Bafeng Mountain expedition. The goddess can only tell Ryan that when you return from the expedition, we will secretly hold another wedding.

At this time, Emperor Karl Franz of the Empire had already embarked on the return journey with most of the Imperial Council, and only the Imperial Duchess remained. Miria intends to stay here for a few more days.

As for Olica, she was very considerate to accompany Ryan on official business, without any complaints, but enjoyed it. It is not that she took the opportunity to monopolize the king's life, but that she proposed a lot of solutions to the problems reflected in the documents. , Some of them are even enough to make Ryan's eyes shine. It seems that the dark elves have gained a lot of knowledge and great progress in some aspects. The king casually asked Olica if she had any special gains, and Olica just smiled and said nothing. , Ryan was too busy to take care of it, so he didn't ask questions, enjoying the dark elves' tea and water, massage and rubbing shoulders.

Surya and Morgiana were also involved, Veronica was busy preparing to gather a whole witch group, Teresa and Aurora were also concentrating on establishing a branch in Curona, and everyone had their own business. , Only Emilia and Orika accompany Ryan. From time to time, the Duchess of the Empire also puts on her previous set of maid outfits, and takes Ryan's children around the palace to visit, and Ryan really has no energy to care.

"Huh~" After three days and three nights, Ryan finally finished processing all the squeezed official documents. He was so tired that he wanted to bury his head in the various documents and go straight to sleep. He was so energetic that he was so backlogged that he couldn't see it. The document at the end was almost overwhelmed, and he could now understand why Richard was so old.

"Master, is the matter finished?" The dark elf Olika stood behind Ryan, her small hands wrapped in white lace gloves were massaging Ryan's shoulders: "It's a little stiff, you must have accumulated a lot."

"Hey, I'm exhausted." Ryan looked at the office and saw that there was no one else in the office except Orika. Emilia went to the banquet of Suria's noble lady, and then complained like a thief: " If Suria and Morgiana were willing to help me, I could at least take a day off my workload."

"Your queen and your lake **** witch have their own things to do, master." Olika said with a smile: "It's not okay to be lazy, master, don't forget, you have an appointment tonight. Lord Tigris is having a candlelight dinner together in the courtyard of the palace!"

"Banquet, banquet, banquet again." Ryan smiled bitterly: "This period of banquet is really enjoyable, and now I just want to go back to the bacon sandwiches and inferior apple cider that I had when I was a Ranger Knight, the kind of unpretentious and unpretentious. boring life."

"Anyway, I'll accompany the master." Orika gently hugged Ryan from behind, and she buried it on Ryan's back: "Tomorrow, master, you can be a little lazy, there is still some time now, you can Sleep for an hour, and I will wake you up and go to dinner together."

"Thank you, Olika." Ryan's heart warmed when he heard the words, he nodded slightly, the king really needs to rest, even if it's just an hour, sleep for a while, and Ryan will soon regain his energy.

Just now, Orika helped him solve a problem.

This year, the canal from the Sandness River to the Gresmory River was finally completed, so Lane immediately ordered to call in workers and prepare to continue building the canal, this time from the Gresmore River to the Chinon River. , to pass through the two principalities of Boldero and Bastogne.

On this issue, Lane encountered strong resistance. The progress of the canal was not satisfactory, the compensation for land acquisition was not in place, the kingdom's finances were tight, and labor was insufficient. The number of laborers recruited for service in each region was always in short supply. And the implementation is in place, so the project often cannot be continued in 24-hour shifts, and it always stops and stops.

And more importantly, the local nobles, especially the minor nobles, are very, very disgusted with the canal passing through their own territory and destroying farmland, woodland or roads~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They either adopt a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, or they act in their own way, Or reluctantly agree, but continue to make a fuss about the compensation for demolition and relocation, and want to take the opportunity to cheat a little more money.

Ryan is very troubled by this. In this world, people pay more attention to the land than the Celestial Dynasty of Ryan's previous life.

But Olika provided Ryan with a new solution, that is, the land acquisition is calculated at the market price, but after the land acquisition, the benefits generated by the development of the land will be distributed to the land acquisition and demolition party according to a certain percentage of dividends.

If the other party insists on compensation, then a public auction can be held, but the future interests have nothing to do with you.

As for those who resolutely refuse to requisition, just let the canal go around a bend. There will not be too many such diehards. After all, Ryan's personal prestige is there, and the money is ready.

Ryan suddenly realized, he thought right, he never thought of it, this is demolition and resettlement, he has seen so much in his previous life, he has never eaten pork, and he has seen pigs run!

It can only be said that after staying in this world for a long time, my thinking has changed a bit.

After sleeping in the inner bed for a full hour, Ryan got up again under Orika's call, washed, and then went to meet Tegris in the courtyard of the castle.

Amid the silver tableware and candlelight, Tigris and Ryan sat opposite each other, with food from the high elves on the table, and the two sides discussed how to proceed.

"The Amulet of Sunfire?" Tigris was a little strange: "Are you looking for that? Is that what Lilith meant?"

"Well, yes, are there any clues?" Ryan used a fork to fork a piece of fruit salad: "If we can find the Yang Fire Talisman, we can have a better grasp of the final moment."

"...The matter of the Yanghuo Talisman should start with the famous Phoenix King 'Poet' Isis."
